If you are near your computer, you’ll also want to hit up Xbox.com/e3 where you can watch the stream as well as participate in an interactive chat with other viewers that I’ll be hosting along with Julie Alexandria.

Regardless of how you watch it, it will be presented live and commercial free. Plus if you miss it…you’ll be able drop by Xbox.com/e3 after the briefing to watch a replay.

Following the briefing, watch the Xbox 360 dashboard for video coverage directly from the show floor.

Update: The streams will be available in all regions.

An Xbox LIVE Gold membership will be required to watch the stream on the console. Anyone can watch it via Xbox.com/e3

Hmm… they are really ensuring a lot of avenues to be able to watch this press conference compared to previous years. Surely they can’t be doing that just to announce Halo 4 and more Kinect games, can they? Maybe it means Xbox 720 will be announced after all?

Me too, I watch E3 every year and the last two have been very dispointing “new hardware wise”.
It was nice microsoft keeping the “new style black 360” a pretty good secert up till e3 a few years back… perhaps they will have something nice (new hardware) to make us excited about gaming again

Dear Microsoft: Please stop spending soooo much of the E3 Keynote on Kinect! I know you’ve been working extra hard to get some of the wii casual demographic but the wii is NOT hot anymore.

Please atleast tease some new hardware (xbox 720) to be excited about. Its fine if you want to release a 3rd verson of the 360 in sub mini form for video on demand or little live games but new hardware is what builds gaming excitment… not firebreathers or circus dancers.

Also consider talking up Windows 8, I know the app store will feature some xbox live games.

PLEASE NO 20 MIN SPEECHES on how your making cookie monster games or kids who are proud of their Dad for making a “LAME GAME FOR THEM”…. Please dont forget us hardcore gamers…..

I don’t think Nintendo coined the phrase and I prefer core to hardcore
since most people who claim to be hadcore gamers probably aren’t. So
many people don’t even seem to know what the terms “casual” “core” and
“hardcore” mean. Especially when you get idiots saying things like “You
can’t make hardcore Kinect games!” since Kinect is probably the the
greatest tool for the advancement of core/hardcore games since at least
the Saturn & PS1 era which made development of 3D (polygon) games far easier than before and revolutionised the industry.
Of course it doesn’t help when developers keep claiming that their new
game “is the first core game for Kinect” when it actually had a few core
games at launch and has many now. (It still should have a lot more by
now though admittedly. But don’t blame Kinect itself, go complain to
publishers/developers for not making even more core games, including
Microsoft who should have taken the lead at launch.)

Let’s play a drinking game.
Whenever someone mentions “core gamers” in a sentence about kinect – take a shot.
Whenever someone mentions “Innovation” when there clearly isn’t any – take a shot.
Whenever they mention something along the lines of “To provide the best experience for our consumers” which is an outright lie – take a shot.
We’ll all be plastered out of our skulls by the end of the conference. I guarantee it.

Nah, let’s play a shooting game.
Whenever someone mentions “core gamers” in a sentence about Kinect – take a shot.
Whenever someone mentions “innovation” when there clearly isn’t any – take a shot.
Whenever they mention something along the lines of “To provide the best
experience for our consumers” which is an outright lie – take a shot.
Your trust for Microsoft will be all over the walls by the end of the year. In other words, you’ll be saying how much better Sony is than Microsoft. I guarantee it.

The old way was a better layout, this new layout is quiet horrid. it like reading pages and pages of black text for hours. the old layout were each comment had it own box was much better to read.
Also sometimes it seems to effect your site as it spans across the whole page from edge to edge.
it should be in the old format with the features of rating up or down the comments
Also i found the xbox live event app on the dashboard

only on xbox you want to actually interact with the adverts. Advert for The Dictator gives you a, free theme, trailers, pictures. advert for Nike, free avatar prop, some interesting videos about scouting for new young football players, an interactive locker room which you can navigate with a wave of your hand, view nike products. these adverts are awesome.

Unfortunately, it is looking like Gears of War: Moar will probably be highlighted. Sometimes the MS conferences are like a flashback to 2006 with a bunch of people onstage pretending to enjoy motion controlling a dead cat.

1). No Kids playing Kinect or acting to videos and trying to be cute……
2). No nerdy geeky adults dancing to bad pop music using Kinect.
3). No nerdy geeky adults using voicechat/social networking
4). No telling us that Xbox is giving us more of what we want and then showing Kinect gameplay.
5). No hipster polo shirt wearing dad’s with their yuppie family in videos showcasing new features or how “cool” the 360 is.

Here is what I want…

1). Reasons to be excited regarding new games and franchises for the coming year, not just sequels we already know about.
2). See #1
3). See #1
4). See #1
5). A new style of marketing that makes Xbox cool again, rather than trying to appeal to the family that shops at the Gap.
